For Bottega bags there are used 4 layers of finest calfskin from Naples, which are woven by hand over several days, so that a soft and although solid bag will be created.
This skilful production of a luxury leather bags is difficult and expensive, also because of the fact that the wages in Italy are of course higher than in Asia.
